COUNTY NEWS

With our residents staying home this holiday season, many people are shopping online to buy gifts for their family members and friends. The result of online shopping may cause an abundance of cardboard boxes that may not fit in your recycle roll cart. 

Aside from using the mixed recycle roll cart, residents can take excess cardboard to be recycled at the Eco Station, Overlook Collection Center, and Lemon Lot for no additional charge. 

The Los Alamos County Environmental Services has staged cardboard recycle dumpsters throughout the community which are available for residents to use. Residents may find a cardboard recycle dumpster closer to their home than the Eco Station, Overlook Collection Center, or the Lemon Lot. As a best practice, remember to flatten your cardboard and remove any packing peanuts prior to recycling.

Los Alamos County Municipal Building – 1000 Central Ave
